"For me coming back here, it means a lot. This room, in particular. There were some tears shed. A lot"

"I feel a lot of joy coming back here. It’s kind of like seeing an old friend I haven’t seen in a long time."

"I was just thinking when I was watching Serena and Venus (Williams), I was thinking, ‘I probably, no way, will ever play at their age.’ But sitting here, I’m like, ‘No, you know what? I might do that."

"I don’t think I can predict what I’ll do - I never am able to do that - but it definitely made me appreciate a lot of things that I took for granted."

"I think it's because I don't know how the beginning of the year is going to go for me."

"I think I don't know the level of play, so I have to ease in for it, so I have to set myself up for a very good end of year."
